Error sending e-mail invalid FROM address(resolved)

Hello Guys :smiley:

I was using this script on a RB493AH with 4.5OS
I am using gmail with this settings

Server: 74.125.39.109
Port: 587
From: @gmail.com
User: (same with “From”, except @gmail.com )
Password: bla-bla


/file remove [find type=backup]
:log info “backup beginning now”
:global backupfile ([/system identity get name] . “-” . [/system clock get time])
/system backup save name=$backupfile
:log info “backup pausing for 10s”
:delay 1s
:log info “backup being emailed”
/tool e-mail send to="
@gmail.com" subject=([/system identity get name] .
" Backup") from=
@gmail.com file=$backupfile body=("This is an automated e-mail! Date is " .\ ([/system clock get date]).\ " time ".\ ([/system clock get time]))
:log info “backup finished”


After the update to 4.6OS i have a problem with error “Error sending e-mail invalid FROM address”

I have already try this “default” script and i have an other error(timeout)


:log info “backup beginning now”
:global backupfile ([/system identity get name] . “-” . [/system clock get time])
/system backup save name=$backupfile
:log info “backup pausing for 10s”
:delay 1s
:log info “backup being emailed”
/tool e-mail send to="@gmail.com" subject=([/system identity get name] .
" Backup") from=
@gmail.com file=$backupfile server=1.3.3.7
:log info “backup finished”


Thanks in advance!

I ran into this issue as well. After reviewing the changelog for v4.6, I noticed:

*) email - user must enable tls explicitly

GMail does in fact use TLS, so it needs to be explicitly specified in the e-mail send command:

/tool e-mail send tls=yes from=“@gmail.com" to="@gmail.com” subject=“” body=“”

Thanks man… tls=yes …works!!!
